We here give a few illustrations of training on the wire trellis, as practiced by sonae of our best cultivators: In 
the spring of the third year, the vine is cut down to eight or ten inches in height, the posts are set midway between 
the vines and the wires fixed. The bottom wire may be about eighteen inches from the surface of the earth — the 
top wire, six feet. During the summer, two canes are trained across the wire? and let grow to their full length, the 
laterals being pinched out during the summer, as previously recommended. At Use winter pruning of the fourth year, 
the eanei are cut to five feet in length, and tied down horizontally to the bot ton; wire, as in fig. 9. During the sum- 
met, shoots must be trained from these horizontal canes, at fifteen or eighteen inches apart, and carried up perpendica-

When it has grown seven or eight leaves in length, it must be pinched in two or three leaves ab.ve the highest
